Two Games

Thus Proving That The Dodgers Can Win In Their Own Division: Dodgers 3, Padres 0

The Padres: last in runs scored in the NL (80), and ninth most runs allowed (106). Is it a Jae Seo gem? Or just a good outing against a bad team? I know which way I'm betting...

Recap

Bring On Jered: White Sox 8, Angels 5

Weaver's probably better than Jae Seo will be, but you wouldn't know it because Weaver (a) is pitching in the AL this year (for whatever that's worth), and (b) Seo's pitching in the NL West. Chased after two and a third after giving up eight earned runs, the Angels struggled to score enough runs to really get back in it; their best chance was with two on in the seventh and Salmon at bat, but not really; it was unrealistic to hope for a three-run bomb to tie things up.

The subtitle above is jocular; Weaver the Elder may have his problems and occaisional bad outing, but Jered is hardly a known quantity. Kevin Gregg didn't suck, and indeed had one of those brilliant games he has just before he blows up.

At least Vlad got a homer; he drove in four of the team's five runs. And there was the psychic value of watching Thome get a golden sombrero.

Recap


Comments:
I was rooting for Thome to get a platinum sombrero in the top of the 8th inning. It was not to be as Jim grounded the strike one pitch to the shortstop playing on the first base side of second for an out.
 
Sometimes, players simply don't seem to be motivated enough to achieve true excellence.
